circular motion


DIRECTION OF OMEGA

Why the direction of angular velocity and angular momentum are at right angle to the plane of the circle?In fact angular velocity should be directed along the radius vector.



What is the significance of this direction? Does this only means that the movement of the partical moving along the circle is clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
